Disclaimer – I just realised that I haven't done a disclaimer yet – All rights go to Ally Carter, I don't own anything! I'll try to do a disclaimer in each chapter, but I can't promise that I'll remember. Anywho – on with the story...
Chapter 3
I woke up with plenty of time to get myself ready. I took a long relaxing shower then walked over to my closet to pick out my outfit for today. I wanted to look hot but dangerous; I needed to be wanted but completely unavailable. But last of all I needed something that wouldn't make me noticeable if I needed to disappear. I chose my favourite faded blue skinny jeans and a tight green vest top. I added the final features which were my high heeled black boots and a cropped leather jacket. I then put on a subtle bit of make-up, did my hair, and then I was ready to go.
I opened my door and locked it on my way out, not that it would really have stopped anyone who really wanted to get in. But the alarms that went off once the door was open would probably give them a bit of shock. I walked down the long winding staircase that led down to the main entrance. Then I walked into the great hall and made my way up to Joe. He looked up and looked slightly shocked at my appearance but he covered it up quickly – I can't say the same for the rest of the boys that were gawking at me – Joe looked alert again,
"Hey Cam, you sleep well?" I shrugged my shoulders not really wanting to go in too deep with my emotions.
"Okay I guess, can I eat with you," I paused, "Or is that not the `done` thing," I said the last part jokingly but I don't think Joe understood it,
"Why don't you go and sit over there with the boys?" I looked at him outraged and raised my voice a bit,
"Have you forgotten everything that has happened in the last ten hours?" Joe shook his head and laughed,
"I'll see you later Cammie," He made a shooing motion so I stole his toast and walked towards the table to which he had pointed.
"Mind if I sit here?" I said to Grant and Zach, there were another two boys sitting with them but I didn't know their names. Grant looked scared but Zach just smirked,
"Sure thing Gallagher Girl," he scooted up to make room,
"You just couldn't stay away could you?" I laughed slightly and took a bite out of my toast.
"You're so up yourself, you know that Blackthorne Boy?" He nodded to himself and said,
"Hey, its part of the charm." I didn't believe him and muttered, "Or part of the act," His mouth hung open in shook so I reached over a pushed it closed for him,
"Don't want you catching flies now, do we?" I said sternly. We didn't really say much else because Dr. Steve came up to the podium and introduced me, `This is Cameron Morgan, she'll be staying a while," bladey bladey blah, I zoned out, I didn't really care how he introduce me to the boys, it's not like I was going to be spending a lot of time with them.
When Dr. Steve finished his speech all the boys started to get up and file out of the hall in a very un-orderly fashion. Zach and his friends stayed behind and one of the boys (whose name was Jonas) leaned over and looked at my schedule,
"You have Cove Opps with Mr Solomon this morning," Gee thanks I could never have figured that out by myself but instead I said politely,
"Yeah – do any of you?" All three of the boys nodded apart from Jonas who explained that he didn't do Cove Opps; I made a mental note to ask him about it later. We walked down to the dungeons were the class was taught and I recognised the hallway from yesterday. I took a seat at the back of the class so I would know if people were looking at me. Joe didn't acknowledge my presence but I think he knew I didn't want an extra attention bought to myself. Having a god-father who teaches Cover Opps means that you get taught this stuff early. So I knew everything there was to know, I just had to go along as if this was all knew to me. Truth is, having two legends as parents, one as an aunt and another as a god-father kind of gives you a head start on things.
I bought myself back into the reality of things and tried to pay attention to what Solomon was saying. He never talked to me, never asked questions. He knew I'd heard it all before. He was still talking but he started tapping his desk, a secret code we had made when I was younger, we being me, my dad and him. It was sort of like Morse code – he was asking if everything was okay, I answered him telling him that everything was fine. I don't think he believed me – I tapped on my desk `These boys don't know squat!` he almost lost his cover when he laughed. Zach caught him,
"Mr Solomon, why are you laughing?" Joe stood up straight and looked Zach straight in the eye,
"I was laughing, Mr Goode, because my god-daughter said you don't know squat," Zach looked stunned but then smirked,
"Like she knows any better," he turned to the rest of the class,
"Who does she think she is... The Chameleon?" That's when both Joe and I lost it. We burst out laughing almost oblivious to the thirty odd boys staring at us as if we were crazy.
AN – Hey, sorry if you didn't really like this chapter, I'm trying to get Cammie settled into the school life so something can happen! I just wanted to say thank you to all the wonderful reviews and I will try to update ASAP.
